This beer pours a hazy copper-brown color with a medium light beige head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Malt, pumpkin pie spice and caramel in the nose. Medium to full body with flavors of caramel malt, cinnamon, nutmeg and graham cracker. The finish is sweet with a pumpkin pie aftertaste. Above average overall.

Very strong pumpkin pie aroma, but mild (thankfully) flavor. No sign of alcohol. Fairly easy drinking for a pumpkin brew.

Tap at Freshcraft - 4 bucks for a full pint during happy hour - yea, I’ll take that - one heavily spiced pumpkin ale - one of those pumpkin ales where youask, "is there really any pumpkin in this?" - very heavy on the cinnamon and nutmeg in the aroma and flavor - the former adds an intense spiciness, particularly in the finish - oily mouthfeel, medium to high sweetness - if you love autumn spices, you’ll love this - just tastes like pumpkin pie mix to me - couldn’t finish the pint.

Bottle @ home, picked up at RJ’s Fort Collins. Pours a dark orange appearance with a light brown head. Quite spicy, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, caramel, toasted pumpkin aroma. Somewhat sweet pumpkin, toffee, vanilla, nutmeg, light apple, allspice flavor. Typical overspiced pumpkin beer but pretty good. Kind of a cool beer.
